CAUTION!(Continued)
•Do not allow the top to remain in the suspended
position. After approximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic pressure will
release, which will allow the top and the trunk lid
to lower. Pressing the power top switch will cancel
this operation.
• Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or
ice from the rear window. Use of a sharp object or
other tools could scratch the panels (hard top) or
tear the fabric (soft top) when removing snow or
ice.
• Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so
as not to leave the interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Do not leave the top lowered for several weeks at a
time. Close it occasionally to prevent discoloration
in the folds of the fabric and to allow the creases to
smooth out. This is especially important if the top
was stowed when not completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the convertible top components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior:
